Iberostar Waves Paraíso del Mar

My wife and I are Iberostar The Club members and spent two weeks at Waves Del Mar from Feb 22-Mar 08, 2026. The staff at Star Prestige were amazing and went above and beyond to make our stay a very memorable experience. They were very friendly, welcoming and competently catered to our needs. We have nothing but praise for how we were treated. This was our 4th time visiting Waves Del Mar and will continue to return as the staff at Star Prestige treats us like family.

2nd time.. Feb 24 to March 5. Room 1001. Upgrade was worth it. Great vacay with hubby and friends. Loved jungle vibe and pools were clean . Staff friendly and attentive. Enjoyed buffet.. favorite a la carte was Brazilian. Enjoyed drinks at lobby bar and pool bar. We had no issues getting lounge chairs by pool. Beach was not great for swimming due to waves but sea weed was not a major issue. No issues and Enjoyed champagne and strawberries for our 40th anniversary.

*****CAROLINA***** We travelled to this resort for my friend's birthday and from the moment we arrived into the lobby, Carolina received and welcomed us with so much enthusiasm and excitement and explained all that we needed to know for the duration of our stay. It was an amazing first impression, and the resort is SO CLEAN and the staff are so friendly, welcoming, and courteous.

Amazing vacation to remember and to repeat! Great, clean hotel with lots of different restaurants and bars (super food and drink selection). Clean pools and white-sanded beach easily supported the everday relax-programm together with a big variaty of entertainment and sports programm (Big shoutout to Jocelyn @ table tennis and shooting!). The service staff is very friendly, professionel and solution-orientated. We especially appreciated the Star Prestige Concierge Team (Omar and Angel - thanks a lot for alwys being available). Last but not least, big thank you to Alex for making our stay even more unforgetable!

I traveled with my husband and I can say that our experience at this hotel was excellent. The facilities are comfortable and the food is varied. What stood out most was the attentiveness of the staff, both in the restaurant and at reception, who were always friendly and helpful. A special thanks to concierge Alberto at the Mar Lobby for his professionalism and support in providing us with information from the moment we arrived, which made our stay even more pleasant and comfortable. As a suggestion, they could improve the speed of service in some areas and the coordination of schedules for some activities, as there were occasional slight delays. However, these details in no way detract from the excellent service and atmosphere of the place. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it.

Traveled to Del Mar September 16 to 20. It was a short get away for myself to experience this level as a club member. We have traveled to the Paraiso complex many times over the past 9 years. We started at Beach, and have stayed multiple times at Maya and Joia(Grand). This time of year the resort felt empty. Daily rain storms helped keep everyone off the beach and out of the pool. I stayed in room 1143 which is located closer to the beach and pool. So the walk to the lobby, Star Prestige Lounge and breakfast (which is at the Beach Buffet) was about a ten minute walk. I found the room to be clean and in working order. I didn't spend much time there other than to shower and sleep. I didn't use the mini bar, but it was stocked and snacks were provided. I knew what to expect from the restaurants, some being open air and un-airconditioned. This was not a problem for me. I never had to wait for a seat, but I arrived at opening for each meal. The food was good and enough variety for me. Being there for just 4 nights meant I had limited restaurant options. I enjoyed Italian twice, Mexican and Brazilian once. My service was good at every meal and by the last night Magdiel and the other wait staff were greeting me as a remembered friend and providing my preferred wine promptly. (It does help when you tip regularly) . The main point of my visit, was to see if I could enjoy myself as we do at Joia, by making use of the members areas. Having the private pool, with swim up bar and sitting are is very nice. It was a good place to hide from the rain. And having options for private lounge and beach area gave me enough variety of places to relax even with the rain. As a perk of our double black membership, I did have massages every day on the beach and at the spa. All were good experiences of course. I like the jungle feel of the resort. Walking the paths and seeing the wildlife just makes me more relaxed. The seaweed was abundant, but the crews cleaned it up daily. Didn't bother me, except when I tried to swim. The storms really churned the water and seaweed up. This is my favorite pool. Even though I don't swim much, it is very long and provides a lot of room to explore. Even with all the humidity, I only saw one mosquito. But they have never bothered me in the past either. I am not a night owl, so I missed most of the shows. What I saw of the Circus Show was good. I also won a hat playing bingo at the theater. Our membership includes travel by World 2 Meet and my ride was quick each way. No delays form traffic. In the end, I would stay here again, but I would not do it alone. I love to have time to relax and listen to my audio books. But I really missed my Wife and friends company.
